SECTION 1 – Mount Large Components
Stripping wire, tinning wire and soldering.
Throughout these instructions you will be told to strip
and tin a length of wire numerous times. Unless noted otherwise, cut the wire to the length stated in
the instructions. Then strip ¼” of insulation off each end. Twist each end of the stranded wire, and
apply a small amount of solder to each end (i.e. tin the wire ends). This will prevent the stranded
wire from fraying and will make the final soldering much easier.
Please refer to DRAWING 1 and DRAWING 2.
Orient the enclosure with the three 9/32" holes on top.
Mount the DC power jack in the 15/32" hole on
the left side of the enclosure. Orient its solder
lugs so that the center-pin lug is facing the
bottom side of the enclosure.
Mount the input jack in the 3/8" hole on the left side of the
enclosure with the hardware provided. The washer goes
under the nut on the outside of the enclosure. Make sure the
center solder lug of the input jack is facing up. Correct
positioning of the jack makes soldering the connections easier.
Mount the output jack in the 3/8" hole on the right side of the enclosure.
Make sure the two solder lugs are in their most upright position before
tightening the nut.
SECTION 2 – Wire Low Lying Components
Please refer to DRAWING 3.

Mount the two #4 screws in the two 1/8" holes in the middle of the chassis using two of the #4 nuts.
Mount the turret board on top of the two nuts on the #4 screws.
Place the #6 locking lugs on each side and orient them as they
are in Drawing 2. Use the remaining #4 nuts to hold them in place.
Bend back and remove the alignment tab on the top of each potentiometer using a pair of
pliers before mounting the pots so that they can mount flush against the enclosure surface.
